Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Memory Box Reindeer Parade die.
I played around with this design for awhile, and in the end, I partially embossed the Tim Holtz trees stencil (included in the Mini Stencils Set 32). Other ideas included stenciling a die-cut circle or rectangle, but I wanted the trees to be more organic. To simplify the construction of the card, I separately heat-embossed the Christmas Messages sentiment on a die-cut rectangle.

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Lawn Fawn Happy Mail mailbox decorated with the Mini Wreath.
Back in July, I created a warm-weather version with the mailbox and couldn’t resist dressing it for the holidays! I was delighted to find that the Mini Wreath fit.
I used Memory Box paper for the envelope/bow, the solid blue background, and the mailbox, along with patterned paper from an older Lawn Fawn pad for the card base and the wreath. I stamped the die-cut envelope with an image in the Love Letters set.
Supplies: Lawn Fawn Happy Mail die set, Lawn Fawn Mini Wreath die set, Lawn Fawn Love Letters stamp and coordinating die set, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border die set, Lawn Fawn Simple Puffy Cloud Frames die set, Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set, Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set, Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes dies
Hello! Today, I am showing how to use the Taylored Expressions Ghost Town Border on a Christmas card!
The spookiest building in the border is on the right-hand side – you can see it on this Halloween card. To eliminate that building from my card, I created a vertical card and simply cut it out of the picture!
I cut the Ghost Town Border out of Sugar Cube cardstock and backed the windows with Cherry Pop and Lemon Meringue cardstock. I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Ornamental set on Blue Corn cardstock. I used the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? die to create the scene in the foreground of the girls making a snowman. I also added a hill cut with a die in the Build a Scene – Rolling Hills set and snowflakes cut with the Little Bits – Snowflake Confetti set to reinforce the winter/Christmas theme.

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions October 2017 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store!
Before you head off to shop, I have two more CAS Christmas cards to show you. My first card showcases the Little Bits – Angel die which I cut from Gold Foil.
I added the die-cut angel to a background on which I applied Distress Ink with a Clarity Stencil Brush and heat-embossed a sentiment in the Rejoice stamp set. I stamped the poinsettia and blooms, from the Holiday Florals set, cut them with their corresponding dies, and added them to the corner. The card base was dry-embossed with the Peaceful Poinsettia folder.

My second card showcases the Build a Scene – Nativity set.
I applied a variety of Distress Inks to cardstock from which I cut out the Build a Scene – Nativity images. I added the scene to a background on which I applied Distress Ink with a Clarity Stencil Brush and heat-embossed a sentiment in the Rejoice stamp set. Certain images, such as the Virgin Mary, star, and angel, were adhered with foam adhesive.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions October 2017 Release Sneak Peeks. The October products that have been sneaked this week will be released tomorrow – Thursday, October 5 @ 7 AM PST!
Today, I am featuring a Countdown to Christmas project, with twelve boxes to be opened on the twelve days leading up to Christmas, featuring the Matchbox die set with new holiday additions to the Matchbox line including Matchy Snowman and Matchy Penguin.
I adhered magnetic tape to the back of the Matchbox cases and positioned them on a cookie sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree.
I used the Clearly Planned – Candy Cane Numbers and coordinating dies to create the countdown numbers for the boxes (some on the exterior and others on the interior). I used stamps in the Matchy Backgrounds – Holiday set to decorate box tops and drawer insides. I added snowflakes cut with the Make a Snowflake set for visual interest around the tree.
The contents of the Countdown to Christmas boxes include candy and Christmas activities!
I decorated several box tops with the Matchy Snowman and Matchy Penguin sets, which would be fun to use on their own on a card.
